These colour cameras were built by Marconi, not EMI. They used 3 image orthicon tubes. Due to their size and shape they were colloquially known as "coffin cameras". I don't know how much RCA technology was used. At one level they were just 3 monochrome cameras in the same box. This ignores the colour splitter block and the difficulties of registering the 3 images.
